Subject: The Great Crashes of Wall Street: My Final Tour of the 2013 Fall Season
To My Walking Tour Participants and Supporters:
After a highly successful walking tour in commemoration of Jewish Arrival Day on September 29, and an even more successful tour for Openhouse New York on October 12 in connection with the First Annual New York City Celebration of the American Victory at the Battles of Saratoga (at which Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and I laid a wreath on the grave of Col. Marinus Willett in Trinity Churchyard), Richard M. Warshauer and I will be giving the last walking tour of my fall season on Saturday November 2: The Great Crashes of Wall Street.
This tour, which Mr. Warshauer and I have given for the past 25 years, leaves at 1 pm from 48 Wall Street, the former site of Alexander Hamilton’s Bank of New York. It covers the history of Wall Street and the American economy from 1609 to the present, and is the only on-location commemoration of the panic of 1907, the stock market crash of 1929, the crash of 1987, and the crash of 2008.
It represents the culmination of my efforts to teach and reshape the history of Lower Manhattan in a way that makes it exciting and accessible to residents and tourists alike.
It is sponsored by the Museum of American Finance and is described in the link below. I urge you to attend and sign up while there are still tickets available:
